First Glimpses of Interstellar Comet Suggest It’s Not So Different

Early observations of Comet C/2019 Q4, which will likely be declared the first confirmed interstellar comet, suggest that its composition is pretty similar to that of comets found in our own solar system.

New Insight into How Much Atmosphere Mars Lost

A key tracer used to estimate how much atmosphere Mars lost can change depending on the time of day and the surface temperature on the Red Planet. Previous measurements of this tracer – isotopes of oxygen – have disagreed significantly. Getting an accurate measurement is important to estimate how much atmosphere Mars once had before it was lost.
